Fab fours jk bumper on a JLU.

Took a risk after talking to the folks at fab fours about crossing over a “jk” product to a jL body style. I’m happy to find out that it sits and fits perfectly. The only thing you will need for most jk conversions to jl is some longer bolts with spacers as part of the frame horn doesn’t allow it to fit as it would on a jk but with spacer plates and longer bolts it will tightented down and not going anywhere. I will post more pictures soon of the spacer setup until I can have a plate fabricated

Here is the finished and functioning detail. I the only issue I had was the bolts that came with the bumper were slightly too big in diameter and about 2 in too short. My setup is buying a 3/8 x 3” carriage bolt with a washer between the bolt head and bumper then another washer followed by a lock washer then a nut. This fixes the bolt to the bumper. I then put a nut then a washer on all 8 bolts mounted the bumper then loosened the nuts until the bumper was where I wanted in a horizontal direction. Finally I installed a washer, lock washer then a nut on the bolt which created a pinch to the frame. If anyone has any questions let me know.
